Chapter 28: A Visit for Trouble

Hearing Su Zong Sheng’s words, Bai Chen did not rush to agree; instead, he chuckled lightly.

He knew that the identities of this grandfather and granddaughter were not ordinary, but he had not expected them to be from the Su family of Lintai.

The Su family was also one of the three giants in Lintai, even stronger than the Yang family!

Ultimately, this power came from the fact that the capital of Lintai City was under the control of the Su family!

Currently, the governor of Lintai City was Su Zong Sheng’s son, Su You Wei!

Last time, when Liu Ming, the deputy governor of Lintai City, visited the Nan family, he was Su You Wei’s assistant!

“Old man, I already said, to treat your granddaughter, you really don’t need my help; just come here and eat my herbal soup more often.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can taste my herbal soup.”

With that, Bai Chen pointed to the four herbal soups on the menu.

Su Zong Sheng pondered for a moment before nodding.

“Alright then, I’ll take one of each of these four!”

Bai Chen smiled slightly, and soon the four herbal soups were served.

When Su Zong Sheng merely smelled the fragrances of the four soups, his pupils suddenly constricted.

Beside him, Su Qing Li eagerly urged Su Zong Sheng.

“Grandpa, you should try it!”

Su Zong Sheng picked up a spoon and began to sample each one.

However, when he took the first sip of the Eight Treasure Black Chicken Soup, he was stunned.

“This stuff!”

Su Qing Li watched this reaction and unconsciously licked her lips.

She had just drunk the Snow Lotus Boil and had not yet tasted the other soups. Should she give it a try?

As soon as this thought appeared, it quickly took root and sprouted in Su Qing Li’s mind!

Finally, unable to resist the temptation, Su Qing Li also picked up a spoon and began to eat.

The grandfather and granddaughter quickly finished all four servings, leaving nothing behind.

After eating the herbal soups, Su Zong Sheng understood why Bai Chen had made that statement.

“I’ve lived most of my life! This is the first time I’ve tasted something like this!”

“In the past, I’ve eaten herbal soups too, but they were all disguised to fool people! This is the very first time I’ve eaten the most authentic herbal soup!”

“Not to mention, even the true energy in my body is automatically mobilizing; the effect is absolutely immediate!”

Seeing this, Bai Chen indeed found nothing strange.

Could something that he personally made not have miraculous effects on an ordinary person?

“Old man, so what I said makes sense, right? Your granddaughter doesn’t need me to treat her illness; she just needs to come here to eat more often to get better.”

Su Zong Sheng chuckled and smiled.

“Indeed!”

After saying this, Su Zong Sheng’s expression changed again.

“However, even so, I still want to thank Mr. Bai!”

“Last time in the park, Mr. Bai gave me helpful advice; that is my first favor.”

“Secondly, Mr. Bai helped my granddaughter find a way to treat her condition, giving me hope for her recovery; that is my second favor!”

“With these two favors, please allow this old man to bow to you, Mr. Bai!”

With that, Su Zong Sheng cupped his hands and bowed at a ninety-degree angle to Bai Chen, showing utmost respect.

Seeing this, Bai Chen did not avoid the gesture; instead, he accepted his gratitude.

On the other side, Su Qing Li also bowed earnestly to Bai Chen.

“Thank you very much, Mr. Bai, for treating my health!”

Bai Chen gently waved his hand.

Both of them felt a gentle force lifting them up, their hearts filled with even more shock at Bai Chen’s abilities.

“It’s just a small matter; just have your granddaughter come and eat here more often.”

Su Zong Sheng’s expression turned serious.

“For Mr. Bai, this may be a small matter, but for us, it is a monumental event! The Su family always repays kindness!”

With that, Su Zong Sheng took out a black card from his pocket.

“This is the Supreme Black Card of the Su family; anyone holding this card can spend freely at any establishment of the Su family, without limit!”

“Moreover, if Mr. Bai encounters any difficult matters, you can also come to the Su family for help!”

Upon hearing Su Zong Sheng’s words, Bai Chen took the black card from his hand.

“Then I will accept it.”

Seeing Bai Chen accept the black card, Su Zong Sheng’s face lit up with joy, and he immediately made his move.

“Additionally, half a month from now, it will be my birthday, and I will host a grand banquet. I hope Mr. Bai can grace us with your presence!”

“This…”

To be honest, Bai Chen did not want to go.

This kind of event was similar to the family gathering Yang Xiao Tian held last time. If he went, he would probably stir up a bunch of trouble again.

And the last thing he wanted was trouble.

However, what Su Zong Sheng said next erased Bai Chen’s thoughts of refusal.

“Moreover, people from the Shudu Medicinal King Valley will also come to celebrate my birthday. I see that you run a medicinal meal shop; you must need plenty of medicinal herbs. I can help you connect with the people from the Medicinal King Valley!”

Bai Chen truly needed a large amount of medicinal herbs.

But it was not for the medicinal meal shop; it was to treat Bai Nian Nian and Nan Yue Ran.

Their conditions were much more serious than Su Qing Li’s.

Ordinary medicinal herbs would not be able to heal them.

The Medicinal King Valley is a place specifically for growing medicinal herbs! Its reputation echoes across the land!

“Since that’s the case, I will come to visit then.”

Hearing Bai Chen agree, Su Zong Sheng’s face lit up with joy.

“Not a disturbance at all! I’ll be thrilled to have Mr. Bai visit!”

Next, Su Zong Sheng packed several servings of herbal soup from Bai Chen’s shop, clearing out all of Bai Chen’s stock for the day.

Just as Bai Chen was preparing the herbal soup, a group of uninvited guests arrived at his shop.

“Boss! Last time, Lin Fei went to find that Bai Chen with a few younger brothers, and they mysteriously vanished! Now we found out this newly opened shop is that Bai Chen’s!”

“Oh? This guy has the nerve to run a shop? Go in there and smash it up! Bring him straight to me! I want to ask where Lin Fei went! He’s been missing for more than half a month, and my brother got furious when he learned about this, which made me suffer a lot!”

“Understood! Did you all hear that, brothers? Let’s go in and smash it up!”

With a few shouts, a large group of people rushed into Bai Chen’s shop.

Bai Chen, who was preparing the herbal soup, was drawn out by the commotion.

Lin Jiang Hai scanned the shop quickly.

There were only three people inside.

An old man, a beautiful woman, and a young man.

Without needing to think, Lin Jiang Hai focused his gaze on Bai Chen.

“Are you Bai Chen?”

Lin Jiang Hai spoke with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, his eyes narrowed.

Noticing this, Bai Chen frowned slightly; he sensed that these guests were not here with good intentions.

“I am Bai Chen. Who are you?”

Hearing Bai Chen’s words, Lin Jiang Hai’s expression tightened.

“Since you are Bai Chen, then that makes it easier. Brothers, go smash the place!”

“Also, where is Lin Fei, who came looking for you last time?!”

Bai Chen’s face turned cold at Lin Jiang Hai’s words.

He immediately thought of the people who had come before to bully Nan Yue Ran and attempted to kidnap Bai Nian Nian.

“Are you one of them?”

Lin Jiang Hai sneered.

“It seems you’ve met that Lin Fei guy! I thought he had run away! Since you’ve seen him and he hasn’t shown up, it means you dealt with him!”

“Looks like you’re no ordinary person! But this time, you’re as good as dead!”
